In today's world if you score better marks than your parent's friend child you are considered to be the most talented child no matter what other talents you have!

There are people in this world are born to kill passionate people

or
There are people in this world and their jobis to removethe talent saplings(thinking thats the weed in their garden)

Coming to the point I'm the very luckiest person- I have small quality of storytelling followed by I'm an engineering student! yay!! -_-

As I said being an engineering student we will get a lot of free time trust me we do get free time! I mean after eight hours of college then one and a half hour of traveling in Bangalore traffic to the home. By the time when we reach home street lights will be sparkling at us saying "How you doing?" (like Joey; o) The small walk we get from our bus stop to our home at that time we feel why I'm here- This is not my path; My future is somewhere else waiting for me!!

This was just the front page of my life!

So being storyteller deep in my heart always wanted to showcase my talent(obviously everyone does that!)

One day I decided to say a story in front of everyone, obviously, we people get time only in traffic. So I was at the college bus and started my job but for my fortunes, my audience was my seniors! I was brave and I really wanted to try it out. Initially, a few were not serious they wanted to see what this silly junior wanted to convey us!

But trust me after an hour when the bus stopped at my stop; when I stood up to move randomly a senior with a lot of interest asked: "What happened next?"

That is the moment where storyteller Reborn!

But every day is not the Sunday, we storytellers do cross some people who will smash our face by ignorance. Some people act like listening but they won't; we can easily identify those people and even some people make faces.

A tip to storytellers doesn't surround your story with people like that, whether its huge crowd or one or two audiences surround with positive people because it helps you.

The feeling is so different when you see your audience eyes of curiosity to know what happened next only that moment/feeling is satisfactory to the storyteller.

Okay now I have to say a message or a bitter truth for all those who don't support storytelling - Don't underestimate the power of storytelling because even you have to say a story in future in front of your boss or in a presentation in your company. Good luck!

Storytelling is the greatest technology that humans have ever created.— Jon Westenberg
